Theres any closing comments or points that you havent had the opportunity to make. I think, you know, people are anxious to hear your thoughts on this particular program and on this mission because it is going to take all of us if the big one happens. So, if i can start with you, vice admiral beaman, if there is anything youd like to impart, sir. Actually, i have 37 things id like to talk about, but knowing we are the last thing between you and the refreshments in the back, ill limit it to one. And michelle gedess brought it up earlier today. Its been characterized a couple different ways. Vice admiral breckenridge asked if there are any gaps that weve discovered. I would say in a denied environment, its something we in the military are looking and training to on a daily basis. But in terms of communications, in a denied environment and its not through any particular act thats denying us other than whatever destruction is a resultant of the disaster that hit. And i think thats where we
One, that is, as you a number of you at the table have participated since 2010. So, have you looked at your broadened responsibilities and engaged in the world or engaged regionally and gaps have been identified, could you offer an aha moment for yourself personally in the process, or the gaps that still remains that is still troublesome to you that needs to be addressed . To me, my aha moment was last year. It was my First Experience with the sls. It was the second one that we had conducted. So, there was some skill you know, the honeymoon, so to speak, wasnt quite over yet. And, so, we were still getting to know each other. And the biggest Lesson Learned for myself in talking with my civilian counterparts from both federal, state, and local agencies was the understanding and appreciation on their part that those of us in the military uniform were not showing up to be large and in charge, but that we were showing up to be supporting of their supported mission. So, that was kind of an
Military can bring to the party and help us with, not only how we can interact with the military, but also we say to ourselves, its also up to us to do everything we can for ourselves. Were not kind of an outfit, its easier for them to collaborate with us. So, all of these things are important to us as we have these exercises. So, i say this is a very worthwhile enterprise that will keep going. I tip my hat to my friend mike who really has been leading us in these efforts. And now i say as also the slogan, i guess you call it this morning, maybe its what the navy says. I think its a very good phrase. A global force for good. Thats what weve been practicing, a global force for good. Thank you. applause thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much, sir. applause and for all of you, tomorrow were going to have the former secretary defense William Perry speak.

And for all of you, tomorrow were going to have the former secretary defense William Perry speak. And the final speaker tomorrow will be the commander of north com, it will be the first time the northern command. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to day two of the Senior Leader seminar for San Francisco fleet week 2012. We had a great day yesterday and were going to have an even greater day today. Weve got a number of people that i would like to bring up to welcome you all. While this Senior Leader seminar is going on, theres a number of other activities that are going on at the same time. And a very important activity is some training thats taking place on treasure island. Its training by the San Francisco Fire Department and its become a huge hit with the marines and the sailors that are able to get this training. With that, id like to have our police chief fire chief from San Francisco, chief hayes white, come forth and talk to you about some of these events and the Fire Departments rol
We all have benefited and continue to benefit. [speaker not understood]. So, we have to keep working at it. And i think the things that have been talked about here are very much in the line of keeping [speaker not understood]. Niche a was mentioned this morning. That was a fantastic piece of work by the navy. It turned around the attitudes of niche a toward the united states. It was a the kind of Building Block we look for in an economic and security commons. Just as when we in San Francisco see not only what the military can bring to the party and help us with, not only how we can interact with the military, but also we say to ourselves, its also up to us to do everything we can for ourselves. Were not kind of an outfit, its easier for them to collaborate with us. So, all of these things are important to us as we have these exercises. So, i say this is a very worthwhile enterprise that will keep going. I tip my hat to my friend mike who really has been leading us in these efforts. And
